_Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

__ drilling, and other construction activities contains

chemicals known (to the State of California} to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do

this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in

a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always

wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when

using such tools.

When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce the risk of of personal injury.

WARNING: Risk of Bursting I_1

Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result

in aviolent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.

What Could

Modifications or attempted repairs to

the tank.

Unauthorized modifications to the

unloader valve, safety valve, or any

other components which control tank

3ressure.

ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:

Exceeding the pressure rating of

air tools, spray guns, air operated

accessories, tires, and other inflatables

can cause them to explode or fly apart,

and could result in serious injury.

'revent It

Never drill into, weld, or make any

modifications to the tank or its

attachments.

For essential control of air pressure,

you must install a pressure regulator

and pressure gauge to the air outlet

(if not equipped) of your compressor.

Follow the equipment manufacturers

recommendation and never exceed the

maximum allowable pressure rating of

attachments. Never use compressor

to inflate small low pressure objects

such as children's toys, footballs,

basketballs, etc.

WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects

Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SOFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL,

CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety

laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for

Safety.

Cut-in Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you

continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low

level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor

automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,

air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure

before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from

pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts

off is called "cut-out" pressure.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to

prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%

average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not

run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.

Tools Required for Assembly

1 - 9/16" socket or open end wrench

1 - 1/2" socket or open end wrench

Unpacking

1. Remove unit from carton and discard all packaging. NOTE: Save all parts

bags.

To install Handle

The wheels and handle do not provide adequate

clearance, stability, or support for pulling the unit up and

down stairs or steps. The unit must be lifted or pushed up a ramp. Do not

lift the unit by the manifold assembly, the unit could be damaged.

1. To make installation easier, submerge handle grip into warm soapy water.

Remove handle grip from soapy water and slide onto handle.

2. insert the open end of the handle under the saddle. Before attaching

handle, you may have to pull the open ends of the handle apart so they fit

tightly against the side of the saddle. Looking in from the open end of the

saddle, position the handle toward the two bent tabs, on the inside walls

of the saddle.

3. Slowly push the open ends of the handle onto both tabs at the same time.

Continue pushing the handle into the saddle until the holes on the side of

the saddle and handle are in line.

4. Guide the straight end of each retaining clip through the saddle hole and

both handle holes.

5. Rotate each retaining clip and press down until it snaps into place over the

handle.

Retaining Clip

9- ENG A10260

6. If the handle has excessive movement, it is improperly installed. Check the

following.

A. Are both tabs inside the handle (Step #3)?

B. Does each clip pass through both the saddle and handle (Step #4)?

To Assemble Wheels

lt will be necessary to brace

or support one side of the

unit when installing the wheels because the

compressor will have a tendency to tip.

1. Attach wheels with shoulder bolts and nuts

as shown.

2. Tighten securely. NOTE: The unit will sit

level if the wheels are properly installed.

_The wheels and handle

do not provide adequate

clearance, stability or support for pulling the

unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit

must be lifted, or pushed up a ramp.

Assemble Rubber Feet

1. Attach rubber feet with the screws,

washers, and nuts provided as shown.

2. Tighten securely.
